Hello all, 

I am running the tutorials in A Guided Tour of JBoss jBPM GPD. In chapter 3,  
Test Driven Process Development, rRunning the JUnit test results in a 
NullPointerException on line 12. Do I need to set a location anywhere to point 
to the process definition xml file? Any help to to get me past this is 
appreciated.

Here is the error when Running JUnit from Eclipse. It looks to me like it can't 
find the process defininition XML file.  

java.lang.NullPointerException

Listed below is the source for HelloTest. line 12 is where the instance 
definition is instantiated.

package com.jbay;

import org.jbpm.graph.def.ProcessDefinition;
import org.jbpm.graph.exe.ProcessInstance;

import junit.framework.TestCase;

public class HelloTest extends TestCase {

        public void testProcess() throws Exception {
                //create a jBPM process archive object is created
                ProcessDefinition definition = 
ProcessDefinition.parseXmlResource("hello/processdefinition.xml");  //line 12   
         assertNotNull("Definition should not be null", definition);
                
                ProcessInstance instance = new ProcessInstance(definition);
                assertEquals ("Instance= start state", 
instance.getRootToken().getNode().getName(), "start");
                instance.signal();
                assertEquals( "Instance= auction state", 
instance.getRootToken().getNode().getName(), "auction");
                instance.signal();
                assertEquals( "Instance= end state", 
instance.getRootToken().getNode().getName(), "end1");
                assertTrue( "Instance has ended", instance.hasEnded());
        }
}


Listed below is the XML for the process definition

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<process-definition
  xmlns="http://jbpm.org/3/jpdl";  name="jbay">  
   <start-state name="start">
      
   </start-state>
   
      
   
   <end-state name="end1"></end-state>
</process-definition>


out of curiosity, why don't I see the .par extension in eclipse.
is any other diagnostic information needed?

Thank you in advance for your help.
